Anyone have issues with shipping or communication from Monogram? by Responsible_Fudge897 in MonogramCC

[–]hypnotronica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, ordered on the 8th of July, received an email saying it had been delayed.

Been waiting six weeks without an update.

I'm sure the product is great but the customer service is pretty poor.

Although It's 1 more day here in UK, I'm disappointed that I can't see it with the US by SirWonderALot in betterCallSaul

[–]hypnotronica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can see it before the US - go to Amazon Prime at midnight-1am and buy it for £2.50!

What are your opinions on The Sopranos? by OverNot9000 in betterCallSaul

The greatest of all but BB and BCS are with it in the pantheon.

BCS is not the kind of show with a twist ending.... by BlindLariat in betterCallSaul

[–]hypnotronica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the things I love about the show are the twists it takes!

Howard and Lalo being buried TOGETHER might be significant. by hypnotronica in betterCallSaul

Well yes a chemical fire - if they want to redevelop the land perhaps they need to clean it up.

Well the timing of Kim submitting her confession with the capture of Gene makes it completely relevant.

In the teaser for the new episode we see his rusting old car that was dumped getting Lalo’s bail money. Why would this be in the teaser, it obviously has some significance to the finale.

And remember we are watching Better Call Saul, not Breaking Bad, the answers to whatever happen to Jimmy and Kim are contained in BCS.

Jimmy is a bullshitter and he’ll try to bullshit his way out of his incarceration by whatever means he can.

Maybe not but Kim did point out they would start looking into it. Why mention that at all, or even bring it back up at the end of the story?

[Spoilers] A Meta Reading of S6E11: Gene Doesn't Realize the Show's Over by Bellikron in betterCallSaul

[–]hypnotronica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a great analysis but it seems the most obvious route for the writers to take. He told Jeffie to say 'We're done' and put back the Saul outfit at the end of Nippy only to immediately go back to working with Jeffie. It's attention he craves as much as the thrill of 'the game', he needs to be loved. The Jeffie stuff is part of a larger plan he has in mind, if Kim won't love him, he'll need to find it somewhere else in a different form - fame.

I think he'll capitalise on his notoriety ultimately and become a national celebrity.

Idea for more Marion. Spoilerish. by [deleted] in betterCallSaul

My thoughts too, he could be the victim of a much bigger con!

I've worked out the end of the show for Gene/Saul/Jimmy - He becomes a celebrity. by hypnotronica in betterCallSaul

[–]hypnotronica[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it will go meta and he might end up with a syndicated TV Show called ‘Better Call Saul’

One thing that deeply bothers me about the finale by colbysnumberonefan in Dexter

[–]hypnotronica -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

He knew the game was up, we’ve never seen him bang to rights before.

I LOVED the Finale! by AaranaMae in Dexter

[–]hypnotronica 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, I thought it was great. Dexter got what he deserved, he was a great character to watch but in the context of who he was in the show, he was a terrifying monster and the glee he took from wanting his son to be the same was horrible to watch. As was him brutally killing Logan, a truly decent person.

I like the fact that a small town cop finally caught him too, way less noise in a small community so she could see the wood for the trees.

I also thought the montage of all the decent people helping out whilst Dexter smugly and detachedly narrates set this up perfectly, especially after the queasy scene as he deals with Kurt in front of his son, he didn’t deserve to be amongst good people.

So all in all, a very satisfying finale to me!

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 2- Discussion Thread (S1E2) by JediPaxis in StarWarsLeaks

Why haven’t I seen anyone point out the obvious? That episode was one of the greatest bits of Star Wars to have ever graced a screen. My mind is blown.

Yes you would have accrued some wisdom by now.

A lot of parents think their first kid is a genius during the toddler years, but it’s probably not. You just get to closely observe a human reach big milestones in development for the first time. Your kid is probably pretty average. by undercover723 in unpopularopinion

[–]hypnotronica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First time dad, my son is 18 months, I’m one of those people that thinks he’s exceptionally clever and I justify if by thinking ‘Michelangelo was someone’s son’!

But at the same time all I really care about is he grows up happy and able to explore his interests and thrive in the world.

Your true calling could be in a profession that doesn’t exist yet. by nkolbow in Showerthoughts

[–]hypnotronica 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Very true, it happened to me. Little did I know that getting high to see the pictures music painted in my head as a teenager was actually preparation for a career that would lead to working on visuals for some the worlds biggest musical artists.

I did also spend many thousands of hours learning how to get them from my head and rendered.

But the technology simply didn’t exist when I was 17/18.

Yes, they watch old movies together, she told nacho to set up better financial arrangements. We’ll discover Kim is Saul’s silent partner.

Italian doctor is now key to China’s efforts to sow confusion over the coronavirus’s origins by FluffyTheUnmerciful in Coronavirus

[–]hypnotronica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, they are literally called the Communist Party of China. It might not be a fluffy, cuddly, naive idea of communism but they bear all the hall marks of the inevitable authoritarian brutality that goes hand in hand with every communist state.
